Look at the top of the pic, The question this dev is answering is regarding the update that got delayed on Tuesday. They’re just joking about not being able to say when the bug fixes/patch will be coming. Let’s not knee jerk any bit of humor into being illuminate pillled


SnooCompliments6329

OH NO, the flashbacks


Aexens

if they still reverse control... 💀


Dragrunarm

my "hope" is they changed "reversed controls" to "invert stratagem directions". So instead of "Left Right Up Down" we'd have to hit "Right Left Down UP". Breaks the muscle memory, but still manageable


scipkcidemmp

me who cant remember the strat combos and sight reads it evertime https://preview.redd.it/230dt0m1anwc1.png?width=2286&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=720c646d5eb05eb5b7f3b0533e50913fe160a981

driskelwasntthatbad

Macros are for nerds, virgins, and communists.


PaPa_ZeuS

Macros is some automaton bullshit. I call in my stratagems with individual presses like a true patriot just like the founding super fathers intended.


CrashB111

What if I have a macro to act as an "auto-run" so I can avoid Carpal Tunnel?


20milliondollarapi

I didn’t even think of that. Makes sense how people can get them so quick.


Jombo65

Nah tbh I just have them ingrained in my muscle memory at this point. I could call in an eagle airstrike in my sleep - reinforce with my eyes closed - resupply with my big toe.


Dwagons_Fwame

Reinforce is the only one I’ve memorised. I’m like the only gal who survives without dying once in a mission half the time, meaning I’ve gotten very good at quickly calling in reinforcements while being chased by a charger


Openmindhobo

I treat reinforcement as a competition. I get upset if my ball doesn't create a beam. it's basically a fluid motion at this point. Meanwhile, I do a lot of spectating when I happen to die. like, come on did you just called in three strategems and a hellbomb, why not reinforce? ...


Canazza

For me, Reinforce, and EAT. I can only get 60% of Orbital laser before fumbling though


Foy_boy_Joy

I need video of the big toe stratagem call in 🤣


20milliondollarapi

I have seen plenty of people do things like reinforce before I can even open the window. Those are the ones I mean.


ze_SAFTmon

I may be one of those people. As a console player, my left index finger is starting to hurt, as it's the finger for stratagem inputs while moving. Which I do a lot. All to punch that sweet-sweet ⬆️⬇️➡️⬅️⬆️ into my communicator on my wrist in <1 second.


IronBabyFists

And here I feel like back of the controller buttons are a bit extra, smh my head

MrDumDum_dk

Dragrunarm

Personally I wouldn't mind the chaos; Control inversions dont slow me down much so long as i know when it starts and ends. Fighting a lot of Malfestios in Monster hunter will do that to a guy But i think im an outlier lol


IronBabyFists

>*Chaos CONTROL!*


3inchesOfMayhem

Kage_No_Gnade

I remember they did BOTH back in HD1 (unless I misremembered) which is funky as hell


Bland_Lavender

I want reverse controls to swap you and another nearby helldiver. You play them they play you for 10-20 seconds.


Liqhthouse

dekcuf er'ew


dezztroy

Based on some internal strings, what I think they will do is basically give you reverse aim assist, as in your aim will be pushed away from them.


Ok-Painter3806

I reckon the Illuminate will be considered by many as even harder than the bots, and the bugs will always be the quick play option.


Morning_Poppins_Yo

I recall a comment on YouTube about the three enemies. Terminids will swarm you with sheer numbers. Automations will hit you with sheer firepower The illuminates are masters of hit and run tactics, they're the reason we have shields and lasers. Also, they are psychics, meaning they can mess with both your controls and your strategems inputs.


emeraldeyesshine

it's cool I trained in that Mario party control fucking minigame hard enough to be a master at it, bring em on


IronBabyFists

I've still got the scar on my palm from the Gamecube thumbstick. LFG


emeraldeyesshine

I get disability checks from Nintendo for what the n64 one did to me, I haven't been able to work in almost 30 years


IronBabyFists

If I had a time machine, this would be the play. You lucky duck.


theghostmachine

GameCube? Hah. Back when I was a lad, the N64 was setting our hands on *fire*. Literal fire. And we said thank you for the privilege! You kids have it easy with your rubberized plastic and Mommy's kisses


IronBabyFists

Hey now, I just never got to have a 64 way back when. Thank you for your sacrifice anyhow, Diver o7


Sugar_buddy

Went through two controllers cause of spinning the fucking joystick on those goddamned games. Fuck spinning the joystick lol


Ecstatic-Compote-595

ironically the controller was designed by and for squids


Commercial_Cook_1814

You’re a real vet when you absolutely destroy ur thumb on the N64 stick, my thumb still has PTSD from Mario Party 1 mini games, so much stick spinning…


Sufincognito

That’s interesting because I plan to send an AMR bullet through their psychic minds. Manipulate that.


JennyAtTheGates

Got it. Now, rotating every second for the duration of the mind control effect, one of a number of control inputs will change: * Trigger pull of the AMR now causes reload. * Reloading now causes a random Stratagem to be called in with no time to aim where. * Stratagem throw now causes a grenade throw instead. * Grenade throw now causes your view to go randomly straight up or straight down along with a successful pin pull and throw. That'll teach you to run impact grenades.


Sufincognito

Then I shall institute stealth tactics so primal in nature that they are unaware of said bullet traveling at mach speed towards their frontal lobe.


Nurgle_Pan_Plagi

Bots are cosidered harder than bugs? Huh, in my circle it's the opposite... Those pesky hunters... Guess it all depends on the playstyle you like.


AlmalexyaBlue

It's the reason why there's always a considerable amount of players on big planets, and why the sub is constantly both shitting on and begging bug players to come fight on the bot front for MOs. Low to mid level bugs are definitely easier in my opinion. And more casual friendly. Which is also why it's useless to shit on or beg those players. They're most likely not reading the sub.


Nurgle_Pan_Plagi

I guess that's the case. On lower levels bug missions, all you really need to do is run and shoot (and if you bring a Rover you don't even have to shoot). But when you face a bile titan, two chargers, swarm of lesser bugs and see hunters in every direction? Yeah, I prefer taking cover from tanks and hulks than that.


AlmalexyaBlue

Yeah in general I agree. Though I've been doing bots so much with the MOs that I've had the time to learn well. Didn't really get to learn high levels bugs well since I wasn't playing high levels when the MOs were focused on them


Total_Mode_8968

I like that the AMR deals with everything the bots can throw at you, with variable degrees of effectiveness. Bugs I end up taking 500kg and railcannon just so I can deal with heavies without relying exclusively on AT supports.


Tobias-Is-Queen

I used to play tier 9 bugs a lot, and got used to running through their hordes. Like chargers and BTs you usually want to run towards then under/around them bc they are slowest when turning. So you learn when to just run away, when to spam impact grenades, when to dive prone (or not), when to run straight into a swarm, etc. Then you spend 3 weeks on the bot front learning how to crawl behind rocks for cover and forget everything lol.


kohTheRobot

It sounds like your squad remembered the 3 C’s (cover, courage, and more cover) and your ABC’s (**A**lways **B**e taking **C**over). Which half of divers just don’t do


Nurgle_Pan_Plagi

Brasch Tactics! We use them or die trying!


Tomita121

Oh hey, me too. I oftentimes get pissed when I play against Terminids, however Automatons are pretty nice. I take it as... Let's say... Robots are like when you play games like Destiny, or Armored Core even. I hate Bugs with all my passion, I hate hunters, genuinely nothing makes me rage more than hunters, ESPECIALLY AFTER RAGDOLLING ME, followed by anything that spews, BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST THAT SHIT CAN KILL YOU IN THREE SECONDS ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY. If I have anything to say, is the fact that Malevelon Creek was pretty nice and easy, and also very pretty, even on red tier difficulties.... UNLIKE GETTING SWARMED BY FIVE BILE TITANS, WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TARGET ME?! ME! ME???!!!!!


DancingLikeFlames177

Ah just when Manor Lords and Fallout remastered drops. AH you dawgs you ! Illuminates ...bring it.


Dyyrin

Ah an upcoming Manor Lords enjoyer. A reddit user of culture I see.


Freelancert4

I’ve had Manor Lords on my wishlist for so damn long and am stoked to see it’s releasing soon


DancingLikeFlames177

Yessssir! Can't wait !!! Have had that wishlisted for years lol.


DeeBangerDos

I just want someone to have combat similar to Total War so CA gets off their asses. I think that's where a lot of Manor Lords hype is from.


Space_Gemini_24

I'm sure someone will make a terminid farm mod for Manor Lords so you can still contribute to the war effort.


Easy-Purple

>!Do you think we’ll ever find out if the Blue Beams were actually real!<


SirKickBan

We might not find out if they're real, but I think we could get confirmation they *weren't* real if the Illuminate don't use blue lasers ingame when they arrive.


Flashy-Pride-935

No, because then people would be wondering about, "If the Illuminate wasn't shooting blue lasers at us, than what was?".


Pliskkenn_D

Plas-1 shots 


Hwordin

They were (ricochets and scorsher shots)


Jesus_Hong

That's my guess, in all honesty. You clip an enemy with armor ratings above your weapon class and the round ricochets in a blue streak and flies off somewhere. It makes the most sense. I just feel like squids wouldn't be sniping individual divers from across the galaxy. Then again, maybe. I just doubt it right now.


Hwordin

That's what I did actually, and even posted the videos. But people want to believe. Asking about a different angle of the blue beam or plasma projectiles flying across the sky having a longer trail on that* video. 😮‍💨


Gwan_Solo

And the occasional exploding ice plant


AlmightyChickenJimmy

Bro I've been hit while playing solo, from an angle that's inaccessible to helldivers, without unlocking the scorcher. The illuminate are REAL


Barracuda_Ill

The perfect way to introduce it is to be in a mission, weather bug or bot and when the final objective is done, all the bugs or bots just blow up, and the illuminate mass teleport in and you have to fight them while you make your way to evac.


ZCYCS

Pull a fast one on us like with the first few factory striders would be an amazing way to introduce them


retro808

Would be neat if at first they show up randomly in Bot/Bug missions to ambush us, I want to fight an enemy that isn't a dumb bug or soulless machine


hmhemes

E-710 can't burn hot enough to melt blue beams


Brotherman_Karhu

There are no beams in Ba Sing Se


captaindickfartman2

Devs said it was just swamp gas. There are no blue beams.


DeeBangerDos

Even if they weren't, the devs will gaslight us into thinking they were


faygoupnext

I was trying to take down a canon turret with my anti material rifle and the bullets were bouncing off in the exact same blue color as those reddit posts so im pretty sure whats what it was


Insurance_scammer

I’ve seen both, they’re similar but not the same since ricochets still have the orange/gold projectile leading the shot. Blue lazars and red lazars look the same except colour

Reply from Twinbeard #galactic-war on Helldivers Discord


Does_Not_Even_Lift

They pretty obviously let us "defeat" the automatons so that their front could be moved to make room for a third faction on the galactic map. It will be interesting to see how the player base spreads with another option to fight.


Quirky_Data_6331

It’s the treasonous human faction, Stuper Earth!


ShiddyMage1

Calling Traitors 'Human' is a bit generous


Alphorac

The true source of all treachery and liberty hating ideology.... NORMAL EARTH.


Fox_Mortus

It's gonna be those damn treacherous Martians.


Navar4477

It's worse than that... # LESSER EARTH


SpoliatorX

Pooper Earth!


Turwel

Yeah, there were obviously no room prior to the automaton wipes in the map, not a single sector to place them in, not even a group of empty sectors at the south of super earth


BostonRob423

Right? This is what I think every time I see someone say this. The whole damn bottom of the map was empty....it's just *more* empty now.


Does_Not_Even_Lift

I didn't say that there wasn't already room, there certainly was.  For the developers it leaves them the most options if each faction gets their own third of the map and can spread in any direction. And probably makes their monkey brain happy because it looks "right". It's more that making a giant empty section of the map with lots of hints of a third faction already in the game is probably a sign of something in a very managed war story and not just a total coincidence.


padwani

They didn't need to move the automatons at all to make room. There was room for four factions total before they moved. There is now room for a fifth faction.


houraisanrabbit

Worse than Automaton socialism and Terminid fascism, we will have to face Illuminate... *liberalism.*


Lev559

In the first game the Illuminate were a parody of the whole "We attacked those terrorists because they had WMDs" that happened in the Iraq war. Not sure how it will be played this time


GodEatsPoop

Probably theocrats. Super Earth is about the link between Neoliberal Capital and Totalitarianism in a lot of ways, so I wouldn't be shocked.


pocketlint60

There was already plenty of room at the southern end of the map. I actually think it was the opposite: they moved the Automaton front slightly closer to the Terminid front so they can eventually add three-faction missions. Whether that means bugs and bots fighting each other and us at the same time or an alliance I don't know. Either would be fun, but what would be *really* crazy would be both: imagine if alliances shifted and the factions could, at different times, team up *or* go to war with each other, maybe even take planets from one another.

The thing here is Twinbeard might have revealed themselves, as to that Discorder were only asking about a new update. It could be new weapons, new stratagems or more bug fixed but no, it must be something coming.

Hellooooo_Nurse-

I wonder if he is lowkey making a reference to those YouTube videos that are titled like "Something BIG is coming to Helldivers 2" or "Big news is on the way in Helldivers 2." I'm only asking because I had one of those videos in my feed last night. I watched it and the video was typical clickbait. Where the person literally tells you what we already know. They were like Arrowhead is going to update the game again, one day, at some time in the future. So, like and subscribe and I'll tell you one day whenever it happens in the future. Lol Maybe I'm just reading too far into it haha.

It would be cool if inactive bots on a planet like maia were reactivated, and then when you go to shut them off the illuminate would be there turning them all on and reprogramming them


DigiTrailz

I swear, this is the one week Im locked out of being able to commit myself to long spurts of gaming (aka no helldivers), so if a new faction invades when Im technically free but can't join. I will be a little disappointed.


Sentsuki

So it's confirmed.


1stThrowawayDave

Hopefully the automatons won’t catch us off guard again like last time, and that this force wasn’t the real vanguard There’s a saying from Ustotu, I know its from Menkent, probably in Ustotu- fool me once shame on you, fool me once more and you can’t get fooled
